Based on the feedback I get there is a very high success rate for those I am helping with the site, Diabetic-Diet-Secrets.com (http://www.diabetic-diet-secrets.com). While helping people get healthier you can help your national economy. As an example, The province of British Columbia spends well in excess of $700,000,000 anually for treating type II diabetes and its related health issues. The US budget for type 2 diabetes is in excess of $178 billion. Each person we get healthy hels reduce those cost. Just in the US and Canada the potential is huge. www.shopperapproved.com/thankyou <script type= text/javascript src= https://www.shopperapproved.com/thankyou/sv-draw_js.php?site=4249 ></script> <script src= https://www.shopperapproved.com/thankyou/opt-in.js type= text/javascript ></script> Articles - Diabetic Diet Related Articles Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:08:18 +0100 http://www.diabetic-diet-secrets.com/content/view/198/170/ Advertisment There is a new option for medical ID available from our friends at Universal Medical ID Our compliance to the HONcode (http://www.hon.ch/HONcode/Webmasters/Conduct.html) requires this to be clearly identified as an advertisment since Universal Medical ID (http://www.universalmedicalid.com/mkt_can/mid_page.php?promo=diabeticdietsecrets) is a site sponsor.

News - Latest Tue, 29 Jun 2010 03:00:00 +0100 http://www.diabetic-diet-secrets.com/content/view/287/170/ Dr. Roger Guzman has written articles about me and the diabetic diet strategies on this site. I came across them while doing Google searches on other topics about controlling diabetes. Dr. Guzman has graciously consented to allowing me to republish his review of my book here. He has also graciously consented to be on our advisory board. By DR. Roger Guzman M.D. Diabetic Diet Secrets is a layman's manual to help manage your blood sugar with diet. This manual's writer is none other than Toma Grubb who is like us who suffered with the ups and downs of the blood sugar levels. His own account on how he dealt with his diabetic issues is emotionally compelling to say the least. Amongst the tools Diabetic Diet Secrets will explain for you are the usefulness of omega 3 fish oils, Glycemic Index of foods along with its list of foods, how to manage the ratio of fat, protien and carbs. As for fat, he defined the differences between the good and the bad. Then he has a list of foods that will help reduce the blood sugar level. All this data helped him to go from near death to regained health with healthy blood glucose levels without having to take medicine. I think every type 2 diabetic who reads this manuscript will benefit from it. The ten things to do for enhanced health that Toma expanded upon are worth their weight in gold. Then there is the part on adjusting...

Concerns about adverse side effects caused by Avandia (rosiglitazone) prompted the Food and Drug Administration in May 2007 to warn users and physicians about the risks associated with the drug. The FDA ordered Avandia's packaging to carry a prominent Black Box � warning, the strongest such safety advisory the agency can order, about the risks of heart attack and cardiovascular complications linked to the drug. Since the drug was approved in 1992, Avandia has become the most popular Type 2 diabetes drug in the world, taken by more 10 million Americans with the blood-sugar disease. Possible Avandia Related Injuries Liver failure and liver damage Fluid in the lungs (Pulmonary edema) Swelling of the eye (Macular edema) Swollen legs or ankles Rapid, unexplained weight gain Tiredness Low blood pressure Changes in vision Shortness of breath Difficulty breathing Chest pains Dizziness Avandia Linked To Heart Failure!

News - Latest Sun, 23 May 2010 03:25:41 +0100 http://www.diabetic-diet-secrets.com/content/view/281/170/ Sugar peak after meal is a problem that puts the diabetics at risk. Really the worry is not on the expanding waist lines. Instead people with diabetes should pay attention to the danger of a neglected post meal peak in blood glucose. In fact the University of Warwick's Medical School says that this post meal peak does more harm than even a persistent rise in blood glucose. The main focus of treatment for the diabetics has been to lower the blood glucose level with emphasis on fasting plasma glucose. Thank goodness that now most diabetics are highly proficient at maintaining the best blood sugar levels. This is dampened though by the recent suggestion that it is not enough to maintain optimized control. The Guideline for Management of Postmeal Glucose report was carried out by an international panel of diabetes specialists for the International Diabetes Federation. They examined the sugar peak after meal and found that lowering the postmeal plasma glucose is as vital or even more so than obtaining the optimum HbA1c levels. People without diabetes have sugar levels that seldom go higher than 7.8 mmol/l after a heavy holiday meal and these usually go back to normal reading two to three hours after food consumption. It is therefore the opinion of the experts that the diabetics should not have their blood glucose rise above the 7.8 mmo/l after meals. Naturally they were concerned that this is not the case. They found as many as 71% had a mean, two hour after meal, plasma... News - Latest Sat, 15 May 2010 21:40:46 +0100 http://www.diabetic-diet-secrets.com/content/view/280/170/ All three major news channels reported on new recommendations We are using the CBS clip It is encouraging to see the mainstream media getting a little bit current with existing research. We have known and in fact have been recommending omega 3 fish oil for over 4 years. We have been recommending vitamin D for about 2 years now. I personally take 1200 mg of EPA/DHA per day and 2000 mg of vitamin D. The 1200 mg is in the form of two concentrated omega 3 fish oil capsules. Each of the 1000 mg capsules I take has 400 mg of EPA and 200mg DHA for the total of 1200mg. See http://www.diabetic-diet-secrets.com/omega3-epa/dha.html (omega3-epa/dha.html) for our article on omega 3 our vitamin D recommendation was in the section on inflammatory foods. Searching the section on recommendations for diabetics it becomes clear I need to add a page on vitamin D. Expanding a little on the CBS report that featured Dr. Jennifer Ashton, Omega 3 and vitamin D are very powerful anti-inflammatories. Type 2 diabetes is one of the many inflammatory diseases. While Dr. Jennifer Ashton spoke about the connection to heart disease, all of the inflammatory diseases respond well to removing inflammatory foods from our diet and increasing anti-inflammatory foods.

Iceburg lettuce is almost devoid of usable nutrients. The dark leafy veggie are loaded. Beside the other nutrients in the dark leafy vegetables scientist have discovered a specific connection between vitamin K and type 2 diabetes. Turns out the vitamin K in greens like kale and spinach may reduce your chances of developing insulin resistance -- a major risk factor for diabetes. Earlier this year Registered dietician Keri Glassman explained to Harry Smith some natural, low cost food items that may fill the grocery shelves during the coming year. Much of this is old news to members on readers of this site. There is howerer some new information about vitamin K. Watch the video. Keep Insulin on the Job In a study, people who took vitamin K supplements for 36 months had lower blood levels of insulin and experienced improved insulin resistance compared with an unsupplemented control group. Contrary to other studies, only the men benefitted from K -- possibly because more of the women were overweight or obese. These conditions contribute significantly to insulin resistance and diminish the body’s response to vitamin K. All About Inflammation How does vitamin K boost insulin function? The researchers aren’t quite sure, but they suspect it helps quench inflammation, for one. And although more research is needed to confirm the study’s findings, you can’t go wrong eating dark leafy greens and other vitamin K-packed... News - Latest Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:51:19 +0100
